Great one to change up your passing and good emphasis on details in certain situations.
Craig Shows a lot of important principles and heuristics to follow. This in combination with several very solid techniques. Helped me a lot with some crucial details
Always looking forward to Craig’s instructionals
Craig has a interesting take on passing that you don't really see in other instructionals. Highly recommend.
Craig always has one or two details that I never see from other instructors., which often make lower percentage moves high percentage. His details on killing the hooks from body locks have completely changed the way I use the pass.
Absolutely banging review! Really going to help me develop this aspect of my game
love Craig's instructionals. Always takes a different approach
fantastic instructional with a wide array of information on dealing with all different types of gaurd players eg supline, seated, standing to put people into non point scoring positions with full control and make them gas out with constant pressure. feel sorry for Tyler :joy:
Takes the passing game and brings it to the modern age. Will make you rethink what it means to be a power top.
so good I feel like I could dominate any bottom
If I had enough money I would buy every one of the Craig Jones instructionals lol. He explains the concepts well and in a way that makes them easy to remember. This is something you can watch that will immediately improve your game no matter what level you are. I really like the new modern approach to pins with the intention of scoring fatigue, rather than points and how Craig illustrates exactly how to implement this strategy
❤️️
craig's instructionals are like learning chess from a grandmaster. Great to study the concepts, take a few in the gym at a time, drill with the homies, then smesh.
Ton's of very great information
From basics to more complicated, both great, both funny, beautifully explained
Amazing teacher! Lots of insight into guard *********** :sweat_smile:
Great instructional to brush up on the fundamentals of BJJ, as well as for teaching students. Craig is easy to follow and throws in concepts as well as overall techniques.
Changed the way i pass positions and is eye opening
Craig always brings different approaches to modern Jiu Jitsu that yield amazing results.
Great way to approach guard
great instructional, Easy to understand, improved my passing game really quick with this one.
Great instructional. I heard some fair critiques about this that you won't get good at breaking guards following instructional, since Craig's thesis is that you should avoid getting into guards altogether. There's merit to that. However, that's a bit like saying don't practice guard retention and only positional escapes. What's valuable about this is the strategy you'd employ in a competition. Give them nothing, tire them out, pass and submit. I had Danaher's New Wave guard pass instructional, so I wasn't sure if I should get it, but I'm glad I did. Danaher doesn't really cover the strategy aspect in his, more the mechanics of passes. Craig is heavy on ideas and tactics.
Craig is a great teacher and explains concepts very well. He adds a lot of humor to this video. His concept of the power top already got me rethinking my game. There is a ton of info and ideas and the first hour is all conceptual way at looking at and staying on top.
Very unique concepts for passing and getting passed guard. His approach is complete unique, as is the case with most his grappling. Would reccomend this video to anyone looking to pass better and throw people off!
Craig is the goat when it comes to instructionals. Fantastic instruction, interesting concepts, and solid banter.
